Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML
Today, while at work, I suddenly went into diabetic shock. As I was nearly passed out on the floor, a customer yelled at me for not getting his coffee in time. FML
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Today, I was proud of myself for buying the lowest calorie option at a Subway that I could walk to. By the time I managed to get there my blood sugar severely crashed (it didn't help that two people in front of me were ordering subs for their family and coworkers). I ended up buying six cookies to stave off the crash. FML
Today, I took a test as part of a job requirement. I took a sip from a bottle of juice, and the lady leading the test gave me a warning. I tried to explain that if I didn't, I would faint. She took the bottle and hid it. 15 minutes later I collapsed. She thought I was faking. I'm hypoglycemic. FML
Today, after a very long day, I got home from the swimming pool at 10:30 pm. I didn’t have dinner, I was super hungry, so I ordered a pizza while walking back home. 35 minutes later, only a can of coke arrived. Apparently, I that's all I actually ordered. FML
Today, due to increasing frequency and severity of hypoglycemic symptoms, I went to the doctor. Apparently, the pill may have given me a rare form of temporary diabetes. She wants me to be a case study for the next 12 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Mistakes happen, but you should have noticed the difference in the tastes before finishing it all and spiking your sugar.

But I'm diabetic too and I would have been able to tell considering Coke taste like sugar and Diet taste like watered down soda but hey maybe you don't drink soda often so it's understandable

Yall need to calm down. I'm a diabetic, on the employee's part it was probably a simple mistake. Yes I can taste the difference between diet and non diet drinks but as a new diabetic I have messed up. Also there are two types of diabetes. One is caused by diet but the other is genetic. So please stop saying every dietetic is fat and brought the condition on themselves!!!

It just happens all too often to us. Like people don't think we're serious that we want diet drinks. It can be hard to tell sometimes because I'm so used to not having regular drinks. Type one diabetic for 22 years so far.

How about this don't drink soda? Especially when you're diabetic.

I'm sure it was the reg soda that was at fault, not the double bacon cheeseburger combo

They taste completely different.
